Check out my discord there have been another round of updates on my other fanfics.

---------------------------------------------------

Coming down for breakfast in the Great Hall, Harry made sure to be quick about his meal as today he had a busy schedule. Even though it was the weekend, and classes were out of session, he still had plenty to do.

Just as he was about to leave however, Fawkes appeared in all his fiery glory, and came down to land before him.

Spotting the letter tied to his feet, Harry withdrew it curious to know but already fearing what it contained.

Reading it to himself, Harry saw what he expected, Dumbledore wanted to have a chat with him before today's Wizengamot session.

Crumbling the parchment up in his hand, Harry smiled at the phoenix, "tell Professor Dumbledore that I am quite busy today, so let's reschedule."

With that, Harry was out, he did not want to deal with that old man right now, so with all haste he made his way off the school grounds and once he was out of the wards, he disappeared in a fiery congruent of bright orange and red flames.

Once he was safely back at his family home, he saw that his twin maids already had his robes ready for him.

Freshening himself up, Harry was about to head back out, but then his mirror phone rang.

Looking down at the Caller Id in a bit of confusion, he saw that it wasn't anyone he had down.

He thought about just ignoring it, but curiosity got him in the end and answered it.

"Hello, Harry Potter speaking!"

"Hello my dear boy," a very familiar voice answered back.

"Headmaster is that you?" Harry asked in total surprise. He never thought or even imagined him calling his mirror phone, not ever.

"Yes, your friends were polite enough to give your phone after you left so soon."

"What do you want?" Harry asked with a sight. The first thing he was going to do after he hang up was block this number. He thought about canceling the old man's line, but that would be pushing it.

"My dear boy, I want to talk about today's trials!"

"Oh that, what would you like to know?" Harry asked, playing it cool.

"You know what I want to know. You just can't do this. If you go down this path then you may never come back. Killing helpless people won't do you any good."

"Helpless, Professor?" Harry inquired with a chuckle, "do you not know these people Headmaster? These are the worst criminals of Voldermort's army! We both know what would happen if they got loose."

"I know, I kno-..."

"No," Harry cut him off in the middle of his speech, "I do not think you realize the gravity of the situation, Professor. We have one chance to act, before it is all too late. And I am willing to do what is necessary to keep the people of Magical Britain safe, unlike you."

"Wha-..."

"You know what I mean," Harry once again prevented him from speaking. "we have a duty to uphold, the safety of this country. That means doing whatever is necessary to see to it.

Now," Harry said, getting tired of this old man and his endless lies, "I will do my duty, will you Professor?"
